Jaguars Gab is Proud to Introduce Our Newest Columnist: Cole Pepper

With the 2008 season fast approaching, we here at Jaguars Gab are working harder than ever to get you the best and fastest Jags News. With that we are proud to announce our newest staff member – Cole Pepper. No doubt that if you live in or around the Jacksonville area you have heard the tones of Cole for the past 11+ years on WOKV, the Jacksonville Jaguars Radio home.

As a reporter, talk show host, sports anchor, and play-by-play man for numerous events, Cole has covered every major sports story in Jacksonville for the last decade. As the host of the “Jaguars Radio Network,” he anchors the “Jaguars Tailgate Show”, “Halftime Report”, and the “Jaguars Post Game Show” as well as co-hosting the weekly “Jaguars Reporters” during the football season.

In his award winning career (which includes more than a dozen Florida Associated Press Broadcasters Awards, including twice winning Best Sportscast in Florida), Pepper has covered major and minor league baseball, pro and college football, college basketball as well as The Players Championship, the Legends of Golf, and men’s and women’s tennis events.

When he’s not working on the radio, Cole can be seen filling in on WJXT Chanel 4 as a sports anchor. In 2003, he launched his own line of barbecue sauce, Cole Pepper’s Blackjack Barbecue Sauce which can be found around Jacksonville, including at Firehouse Subs locations.

Cole will provide JaguarsGab with great Jaguars coverage all season long, giving fans an inside look at the Jags numerous times per week. Welcome aboard Cole!

Welcome aboard, Cole! I look forward to working with you and the other Jaguars writers on this site. I think we’ve got a good crop of Jaguars writers who know the team really well. This is going to be fun.

I’ve had your BBQ sauce several times and love your broadcasts on WOKV. You’ll have to do your “Burning Questions” segment over here, too!
